“With this work, Stanley Yates goes beyond the traditional concept of the guitar method or the guitar technique treatise. The history of the instrument includes outstanding examples, but none that constitutes an adequate precedent to this book from the Anglo-American maestro.” Angelo Gilardino
“This monumental work by Stanley Yates is both a lucid summation of guitar methodologies and an innovative advancement of instrumental theory. Read it and learn.” Mark Delpriora (Guitar Chair Manhattan School of Music, Instructor The Juilliard School)
